Abstract

This article discusses the foundation and early growth of the royal city of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro. Based on a detailed analysis of the historical sources still available, the original urban morphology is reconstituted and the rules and actors that presided its implementation are discussed. The work offers four conjectural maps of Rio de Janeiro in the sixteenth century, which constitute original cartographical contributions to the historical geography of the city.
